What things are most likely to cause a delay in obtaining the release from the Employment Security Department?
A. Failure to pay unemployment insurance taxes may cause a delay. Another common reason for delay is when work for a public works contract is completed in the current quarter and the current quarter’s report and taxes are not yet due. The agency must ensure the taxes have been paid during the period of the contract. We cannot send authorization to release funds until the employer has filed all of their tax reports and paid all of their taxes during the contract period. The employer can help us by filing their tax reports and paying their taxes as soon as the quarter ends.
